Leftover Easter Egg Cookies
Do you have loads of chocolate lying around the house after Easter? This recipe is a great way to use up leftover Easter eggs. Or any other chocolate you might have!
In a recent survey with my subscribers, 50% of them said their children got between 6 and 20 Easter Eggs each. That sure is a lot of chocolate.
Now I do subscribe to the idea of letting them manage their own chocolate but, if they are looking for an easy, fun recipe to make and use up some of that Easter Egg chocolate, then look no further.
Adding oats and nuts to the chocolate can help even out those sugar spikes for your kids. In fact, these cookies can even be eaten as a quick breakfast - how cool is that!

This 3 ingredient cookie recipe is super simple - kids from age 2 + should be able to get involved it’s that easy.
Easter Egg chocolate does not always melt great (depending on the brand and how cheap the ingredients are 🙈) so I’ve broken up the chocolate here to use as ‘chips’ rather than to dip the cookies into.
But what I love about this VERY EASY recipe is that you’re giving your child all that extra nutrition from the oats and the banana along with the chocolate.
